Chelsea flop not willing to leave

Fernando Torres is not interested in quitting Chelsea, and is ready to play a back-up role to imminent summer signings, according to reports from Goal.

The Spanish striker – who is away with La Roja at the World Cup – has been heavily criticised since his £50m move to the Blues from Liverpool after failing to transfer the form he displayed at Anfield to Stamford Bridge.

Numerous managers and players have been brought in by Roman Abramovich in attempt to get the best out of the misfiring 30-year-old over the past few seasons, but with none having achieved, a move away from the club in the coming months has looked likely for a while.
